Leatherheads trailer online

I didn't really have a lot of interest or knowledge about the new film from George Clooney until I saw the trailer, and I'm now interested because the trailer is slick and funny, and it looks like the three main characters have some great dialogue and play well off each other.

The film is directed by George Clooney and written by Duncan Brantley and Rick Reilly. It's a romantic comedy with the backdrop being 1920's American football trying to legitimise the whole sport.

That exchange in the middle of the trailer between George Clooney and Renée Zellweger is superbly written and delivered. John Krasinski plays the other lead, and the closing fight scene between he and Clooney is also pretty well delivered. I'm thinking this could be a hit for Clooney, especially considering the material.
